If the new fuse fails again soon after you fit it, have the electrical system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Do not replace any fuse that is not shown in the allocation tables, as this may cause a serious malfunction of your car. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop instead. The full fuse allocation tables, diagrams and wiring information for professional repairers are available from a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

No. Always replace a failed fuse with one of the same rating and colour, because a different rating may cause malfunctions and there is a risk of fire.
If a fuse fails again soon after you replace it, have the electrical system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Changing a fuse on your Peugeot 208 is simple once you know where the tweezers and fuseboxes are. Always fit a fuse of the same rating, and if a fuse keeps failing, let a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop check the electrical system.
